Jewish woman 'froze' when two men started antisemitic chants on her London Underground train

She said: “It sounded like football chanting. In that situation you just freeze. You don’t know whether to confront them, and identify myself as Jewish. No one else said anything at all.

“I’ve seen in the last few years an increase of things like antisemitic graffiti, but I’ve never heard something so blatantly and carelessly antisemitic in public. They were quite gleeful.

“My partner encouraged me to report it. In the end I was the only person to come forward. But the police can’t do anything without it being reported.”
